The Thanksgiving Dinners were fun. I had 8 orders total and here is a very cool part: every single person who ordered from me gave me MORE than I was charging! I even got an entire avocado pie as a gift from Raw Chef Marion! WOW! Thank you, Everyone! I was really touched.
I made, as promised:
cornbread dressing (corn, cashews, celery, parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, etc.)
brazil nut patties with a creamy gravy on top (brazil nuts, celery, parsley, etc, dehydrated overnight)
a spinach/satsuma/candied pecan salad
and carrot cake!
All in all, I actually made about 5 carrot cakes because I brought them to various Thanksgiving Day gatherings. Raw carrot cake is GOOD! I'm perfecting my own recipe...will it post soon...
I've been riding a bike a lot lately.
Thank you for getting me around and getting me out in the weather, closer to the trees and wind and sky, Bike. I love you.
I had my first solo urban foraging adventure the other morning when I got the guts to climb the fence of this vacant property and gather a backpack full of lemons from a lemon tree.
These lemons have a lot of seeds, but they are humongous!
Thank you, Lemon Tree! I love you.
I made Carmella's Banana Chocolate Cream Cake with frozen blueberries in place of bananas:
It is de-LISH-ious! Thank you, Carmella! I love you!!!
December!! Welcome. Time for HOT CHOCOLATE!!! I had my first raw hot chocolate today: Raw cacao powder with warm water and honey. I'm a convert. Who knew???
